1828 Half Cent 13 Stars VF
In the early decades of United States coinage, the half cent served as a vital tool for daily transactions. The 1828 issue represents the Classic Head design era, offering a window into the aesthetic preferences of the young nation. Struck in pure copper at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin showcases a distinct portrayal of Liberty on its obverse, facing left with her hair bound by a band. Surrounding the central figure of Liberty are thirteen stars, representing the original colonies, along with the date of manufacture positioned at the bottom. The reverse side features a minimalist and elegant layout, displaying the denomination of Half Cent enclosed within a delicate wreath. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA encircle the wreath, completing a design that prioritizes clarity and functional beauty.
